How to replace launcher.apk in system folder – xda-developers.

Well theres 2 types of home replacements.

1. Who allow themselves to replace stock launcher
2. Who dont allow and have to be used as stand-alone

Regardless ur cleanest method would be :

adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/Launcher.apk
adb uninstall com.android.launcher
adb shell rm /data/dalvik-cache/*Launcher*
adb shell rm /cache/dalvik-cache/*Launcher*

Now just place ur favorite launcher in ur /system/app folder.

adb remount
adb push /system/app/

Now just reboot ur phone
